Nuke proof was a small USA CNC builder of mostly AtB parts. Not sure if their still around. They did tend to go for the light weight end of the spectrum. The few hubs of theirs that I played with all had tiny bearing cartridges and thus not the same life span as more typical hubs of the machined and cartridge bearinged designs. I suggest that you monitor the flanges for cracking given their minimal material and the radial spoke pattern. Andy

The Nukeproof brand is still around, but has nothing to do with the 90's era brand, except the name.
Currently Nukeproof are a house brand of Hotlines/CRCWiggle mainly focusing on the DH/AM/Enduro MTB scene
